Alma Area Schools hosted their fourth annual Community Fest at the Rod and Gun Club on Sunday, September 7th, and it was a day filled with fun for families, students, and staff. The event featured bubbles, rocket-making, bingo, crafts, and photo booths, providing everyone with plenty of activities to enjoy.
One of the highlights was Sheila Huber’s pumpkin succulent kits, which were a big hit with students, staff, and community. Local businesses and organizations also joined in to make the day special. Happy Hub, Alma FFA, Rivermen Industries, Nelson Fire Department, Alma Ambulance, and Riverland Energy were some of the organizations that provided us with a little insight into how they contribute to our community.
At the community fest, there was a free hot dog meal along with cookies and chips. The school even brought out its own ice cream machine, which was one of the main attractions. The ice cream was such a big hit that when a mom and a daughter came to get some, the mom shared the story of how her daughter had just had a dream about twist ice cream. The mother then stated, “Thanks for making her dreams come true”.
The community is especially grateful to the Rod and Gun Club for providing their facility. Community Fest is quickly becoming a tradition that celebrates the support, teamwork, and spirit of Alma Area Schools. Thank you to all who attended and helped out to make this event a special day for the whole community.
